checklist
begin page 36 | ↑ back to topBlake and His Circle: An Annotated Checklist of Recent Publications
The present edition of this continuing report on Blake-related literature records the publication of some 250 books and articles, plus more than 300 reviews. The number and type of journals that I have examined remain much the same (see the preface to last year’s compilation), while the library resources at Trier have not considerably improved in the meantime. Almost all the sections of the checklist include back entries with publication dates as early as 1980, however most of the items appeared in print between, approximately, May 1987 and April 1988 (including, once again, some journal issues with a 1986 or even a 1985 date on their covers).
As before, I have resisted the temptation to list references to non-print media such as Tangerine Dream’s 1987 recording of “The Tyger.” And I have banned from the section on Blake and the moderns an entry for an exhibition entitled “Songs of Experience” at the National Gallery of Ottawa in 1986. The works by contemporary Canadian artists presented under that heading did, in the words of one reviewer, “not invoke William Blake who [was] referenced conveniently, like a postmodern embellishment tacked to the entrance of pre-existing architecture” (Lorne Falk, Vie des Arts 30.124 [1986]: 28). Yet despite such occasional rejections, at least part III of this year’s checklist appears to be haunted by the ghost of “inclusiveness” and the continuing lack of a clear-cut set of standards for selection—and this to such an extent that further comments seem in order.
To begin with, however, let me say that no major changes in arrangement or style have been introduced in this year’s installment of the checklist. While in matters of style I will continue to follow the guidelines laid down for bibliographies in The MLA Style Manual, the arrangement of entries may well have to be subjected to some considerable reshuffling in next year’s compilation where I plan to merge and reorganize parts II and III. Comprehensiveness, I am afraid, has been too much of an ideal in the gathering of the materials for the construction of the 1985-1988 lists, and—eventually—it may diminish rather than enhance their usefulness as a research tool for a group of highly specialized scholars. An attempt to achieve completeness may be very fine; but with respect to parts II-IV of the checklists I wonder who, in fact, is being served with no less than fourteen reviews listed in the past two years for a book of such peripheral interest to Blake studies as the first volume of The Collected Letters of W. B. Yeats (see #327, below). In a sense, such inclusiveness is—though time-consuming and tiresome to both the compiler and the user of a bibliography—easier to realize than deliberate selectiveness.
In a review of the 1981 volume of The Eighteenth Century: A Current Bibliography, Thomas Lockwood suggested that “maybe it is time now to think about how to shrink, not to expand, the bibliography” (p. 277 in #271[1], below). The same on a miniature scale can be said of the Blake checklists, and as long as there is no massive protest from those who regularly consult these annual reports, I will indeed shrink the scope of coverage in the future. Parts II and III—and, in consequence, part IV—should again be considered as selective and exclusive, rather than inclusive. Getting rid of what I think are too many entries on too many aspects of the works of, for example, Cowper, Godwin, West, or Wollstonecraft would allow both for some more extensive annotations in part I and for the reintroduction of an early Blake Newsletter feature, “work in progress.” I cannot yet say what will result from these plans. Readers of these notes, however, are encouraged to send both their suggestions for the organization of the checklist and notices of their current research projects to Trier at the earliest date possible.
begin page 37 | ↑ back to top
Just as before, I have tried to keep evaluative statements in the annotations to a minimum, that is, well within those boundaries which I thought legitimate in a context which does not allow for an exposition of the criteria of evaluation. If I have not been able to abstain completely from critical asides, I still hope to meet with the indulgence of the readers and the victims of such comments alike. No one is going to seriously judge the value of a study from my annotations anyway. To compile these brief glosses, however, I have most often had recourse to quotations from the books and articles themselves. These, it is hoped, will highlight the authors’ own claims and intentions rather than my estimates of their achievements. Let me add that in general I am not sure how helpful or distracting these usually brief notes are. Here again I would be glad to receive criticisms and suggestions from users.
As in previous years, an asterisk preceding the entry indicates that as yet I have not been able to examine the publication. For the first time, however, I have supplied cross-references to the initial entries for books under review. This seemed desirable, especially since so many of the reviews listed in part IV either treat books published many years ago or are themselves recorded here only three, four, or even more years after their publication. References in square brackets which follow the titles of the works under review are of two sorts: for a reference such as “[17#71]” simply read “see the main entry that was included in the checklist for volume 17 as item 71”; for pre-1981 lists page references rather than item numbers are supplied in much the same style (e.g., “[14p92]”).
Once again, the relative completeness and reliability of this compilation owe a great deal to the help I have received from various publishing houses (that supplied me with inspection copies of new books in the field) as well as from a number of colleagues who have generously sent offprints from their recent articles and/or furnished me with references to some out-of-the-way materials. I wish to thank G. E. Bentley, Jr., David Blayney Brown, Frederick Burwick, Joseph Childers, Jackie DiSalvo, David Fuller, Michela Gori, the Martyn Gregory Gallery, Anthony Lacy Gully, David Herrstrom, Nelson Hilton, Nancy Ide, Desmond King-Hele, Kevin Lewis, Richard Martin, James McCord, David McKitterick, Dan Miller, Peter Otto, and Molly Rothenberg, who have all made important contributions to this year’s checklist. Earlier this year, I enjoyed the unrestricted hospitality of Jenijoy La Belle and Robert Essick at Altadena and was allowed to browse through the holdings of the finest private Blake library I have ever met with (surpassing, to my tastes at least, even that of the late Sir Geoffrey Keynes at Lammas House). This has yielded the majority of entries for previously unrecorded publications from the years 1980-1984 and has acquainted me with a number of new books, too. Very special thanks are also due to Patricia Neill. Using just the right mixture of cheer and threat, she actually managed to get hold of my typescript in time (well, almost). It was then that her own work began, and her copy-editing expertise has saved me (and, incidentally, the reader) from various stylistic inconsistencies and some unforgivable blundering.
Despite the help I have received, I still feel convinced that even in part I, where comprehensiveness continues to be the guiding principle, all too many omissions as well as an occasional error in the citations remain. It is appropriate, then, to finish this introductory note by stating that I shall include any omitted items in a future edition of this checklist and also incorporate errata in an appendix to next year’s issue of this annual report.

Part I William Blake
Editions, Translations, and Facsimiles
1. *Blake, William. The Fly. n.p. [Gt. Brit.]: Dalin, 1976. [This pamphlet of only eight pages was issued in a limited edition of only 55 copies; measuring no more than 54 millimeters in height, it was easily overlooked and made its first appearance in the British National Bibliography only in 1987.]
2. *Blake, William. Proverbs of Hell. Harper Woods, MI: Adagio P, 1982. [Not listed previously, this limited edition of 200 copies is now reported on the authority of a bookdealer’s catalogue.]
3. Borgmeier, Raimund, ed. 19. Jahrhundert I: Romantik. Die englische Literatur in Text und Darstellung 7. Stuttgart, W. Ger.: Reclam, 1983. 40-51 and 324-27. DM 13.00 paper. [A bilingual selection of a few poems by Blake and even fewer of his annotations to Reynolds with a brief introduction by the editor of this anthology.]
4. Kavanagh, P. J., and James Michie, eds. “William Blake 1757-1827.” The Oxford Book of Short Poems. Oxford, Oxon.: Oxford UP, 1985. 106-09. [Eleven short poems and fragments by Blake make their appearance as #243-53 of this collection.]
5. Kunitz, Stanley, ed. The Essential Blake. The Essential Poets 4. New York, NY: Ecco P, 1987. $5.00 paper. [The editor has chosen as “essential” reading in Blake’s poetry the Songs, the Marriage, and some thirty-five pages of selections from the Notebook, from the Gates, from the letters, etc. Kunitz’s introduction takes up pages 3-8.]
6. Luetjohann, Sylvia, ed. and trans. William Blake: Die Hochzeit von Himmel und Hölle: Eine Auswahl aus den prophetisch-revolutionären Schriften. Bad Münstereifel, W. Ger.: Edition Tramontane, 1987. DM 34.00 cloth. [The only new translation of a selection from Blake’s writings into German in almost thirty years; covers the Religion tracts, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, Europe, The Song of Los, and “The Everlasting Gospel.” The deliberately “free” translations are accompanied by a careful introduction (7-31) to Blake’s thought and poetry in general, and by commentaries on each of the works here represented. Blake has never received as much attention in Germany as in other non-anglophone countries such as France, Italy, or Japan—this edition may change this situation a lot.]
7. Mason, Michael, ed. William Blake. The Oxford Authors. Oxford, Oxon.: Oxford UP, 1988. £17.50 cloth/£7.95 paper. [“This collection of William Blake’s writings includes almost all his poetry and prose works, and a few of his letters.” These are grouped under such headings as “Blake on Religion and Knowledge,” “Blake on Art and Literature,” “Early Visionary and Narrative Writings,” “The Lyrics,” or “Late Lyrics” (which here include two Lambeth prophecies). The more peculiar features of the editorial decisions behind this collection are perhaps best explained by quoting from the introduction: the volume “differs, deliberately, from all recent editions of Blake. To start with, his very diverse output has been arranged under kinds of writing . . . rather than chronologically. A greater variety of his work is included here than in most (selective) editions, and it seemed inappropriate to make chronology the sole organizing principle of this disparate material, and thus thwart the reader wanting a concentrated experience of Blake as a lyricist, or insight into his views on a single important topic, such as art. . . . The second unusual feature of this anthology is that it offers a single, and entirely verbal, version of Blake’s writings. Deleted or alternative readings are almost completely ignored, and there is no attempt to describe or reproduce Blake’s illustrations to his poems. . . . In recent years the doctrine has gained begin page 39 | ↑ back to top ground that Blake’s text, where it was illustrated, can only be read adequately in conjunction with the illustration. This poses great problems for a modern editor . . . but, more troublingly, the enhancement of our reading of Blake which was expected to flow from attention to his illustrations has simply not occurred. And the whole principle of the exercise may be questioned. Blake himself seems to have been less tender of his text than some of his editors. . . . Finally, no attempt is made in this edition to summarize the content or message of individual prophetic works, nor is there any explication of Blake’s mythology. I feel that both enterprises are mistaken” (xiii-xiv). Brave and challenging words, indeed; it is interesting to view these editorial statements in the context of canon formation which has recently been discussed by Morris Eaves; see #229, below. Mason’s text “may be thought of as a modernized version of the transcriptions in G. E. Bentley Jr.’s William Blake’s Writings (1978). . . . The modernizing has been thorough, but all original spellings in the verse (and in some of the prose) which have metrical consequences are retained” (xxvi). To give his readers “an edition which makes a single choice of text (with Blake’s endorsement) and is not cluttered with indications of what he rejected,” Mason after all remains indebted to one of those “editors who have fallen into the habit of transcribing what Blake crossed out, or improved on” (xiii); this relationship between the “fallen” text and the thoroughly modernized version that Mason believes his readers to be “entitled to,” is not devoid of irony.]
8. Phillips, Michael, ed. William Blake: An Island in the Moon: A Facsimile of the Manuscript. With a Preface by Haven O’More. Cambridge, Cambs.: Cambridge UP, in association with the Institute of Traditional Science, 1987. £75.00, $125.00. [A limited edition of 775 numbered copies; there are twenty-nine facsimile pages—reproducing the Fitzwilliam Museum manuscript in “offset litho”—which are accompanied by a new transcription of the text, extensive annotation, and an introduction by the editor (3-26). A second copy of the facsimile, folded and stitched as a single quire, is inserted inside the back cover of the slipcased volume which has been produced by the Stamperia Valdonega in Verona, Italy. While the preface claims that the “manuscript (of An Island in the Moon) had not been published” at the time the project for this facsimile was first discussed with Sir Geoffrey Keynes and Arnold Fawcus, and while there is no mention of the only other separate edition of the Island manuscript, readers of this journal will recall Erik Frykman’s not on Göran Malmqvist’s Swedish translation of Blake’s satire which includes black and white reproductions of “William Blakes manuskript;” see Blake / An Illustrated Quarterly 14 (1981): 217-18; and 15 (1981): 84, #7. It certainly would not have diminished the importance of the present edition if references to Malmqvist’s introductory study as well as to some other recent literature on the subject had been included in the notes to Phillip’s commentary.]
9. Punter, David, ed. William Blake: Selected Poetry and Prose. Routledge English Texts. London: Routledge, 1988. £4.95 paper. [While acknowledging the “extraordinary fidelity to Blake’s own script” of Erdman’s “most authoritative[e] edition,” the editor has based his own text on Keynes’s slightly modernized version and has “risked further modernization” as well as “conventionalized Blake’s habits of capitalization” (17). Punter supplies an “Introduction” (1-19), a “Critical Commentary” (223-46), as well as “Notes” on the text (251-83). His selections include Tiriel, Thel, the Marriage, Visions, America, the Songs, The Song of Los in full, and extracts from Poetical Sketches, The French Revolution, Urizen, Vala and other manuscript materials, Milton, the Descriptive Catalogue, and Jerusalem. A list for further reading with brief editorial comments is supplied on pages 247-49.]
begin page 40 | ↑ back to top10. Sanesi, Roberto, ed. Opere di William Blake. Trans. G. Conte, R. Sanesi, and D. Villa. Parma, It.: Guanda, 1984. Lit 90000. [Not yet seen, but with more than 800 pages and at such a price this is very likely the first complete edition of Blake’s writings in Italian or, at least, a very extensive bilingual selection.]
11. Sanesi, Roberto, ed. and trans. William Blake: Libri profetici. Tascabili Bompiani 400. Milan, It.: Bompiani, 1986. Lit 6000. [Contains Thel, the Marriage, the French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, Europe, Urizen, Ahania, and The Book as well as The Song of Los; the Italian translations of the Lambeth Books are printed on the rectos, while Blake’s original texts appear on the versos of this pocket edition. The editor has supplied both a “Repertorio” (vii-xxvii), a brief biography of the poet (xxix-xxxii), a select bibliography (xxxiii-xxxv), and some notes on the text (215-25). It comes as a surprise to find that Blake’s poetry is here quoted neither from Bentley’s, nor from Erdman’s, nor Keynes’s editions, but from Sampson’s 1913 “Oxford Edition” (see xxxv). Blake’s titlepages are reproduced in poor, but legible halftones.]
12. Sanesi, Roberto, ed. William Blake: Libri profetici. L’altra biblioteca 13. Milan, It.: SE-Studio Editoriale, 1987. Lit 22000. [While the contents of the present volume are almost identical with those of the edition listed in the preceding entry (though the French Revolution and “A Song of Liberty” are omitted), this printing of Sanesi’s translations is on better paper, is spaced more elagantly, and has all the editorial material grouped together at the end of the book (155-80). However, at less than a third of the price of the “Altra biblioteca” edition, the illustrated Bompiani version seems to be by far the better choice to make for Italian readers of Blake.]

Lewisburg, PA: Bucknell UP; London: Associated UP, 1987. $65.00. [A complete set of reproductions from Blake’s manuscript in reduced format, making use of infrared photography to improve the legibility of the drawings. The “Commentary on the Illuminations”—i.e., the designs which were mostly executed in chalk or pencil and left uncolored—takes up pages 25-102 and is a page-by-page account not unlike in approach and style Erdman’s earlier facsimile edition of the Notebook (1973 and 1977) or his Illuminated Blake (1974 and 1975).]

[This book claims to present “the first minutely detailed interpretation of the verbal text” (xii) of Blake’s manuscript poem; it runs to no less than 517 pages. For better or for worse, the author wanted his study to be different from all previous Blake criticism. In his “Foreword,” George Quasha says that Ault has responded “to virtually every written mark on the page as well as every created gap in the narrative,” accepting “the challenge of the text at the level of radical intentionality” (x), and Ault describes his own intentions in writing Narrative Unbound by telling his readers that it was his “desire to re-think the narrative foundations of William Blake’s The Four Zoas and to provide the reader with a process text that plausibly retells this immensely complex manuscript poem’s narrative through analytical discourse,” which made him embark on the project. “By turning critical attention to what has been left unthought in previous accounts of the poem, I offer a description of the poem’s narrative operations that is not intended to compete with the existing body of Blake scholarship but rather to be fundamentally incommensurable with it.” The “attempt to defamiliarize the reader with Blake’s poetics has involved me in a process of interpretation that requires constant retroactive reconstitution of ‘facts’ or reader ‘events’; . . . I have come to accept this process, which takes on the quality of Blake’s own interminable revising of The Four Zoas, as endless and inevitable, one in which the final fixity of meaning is neither possible nor desirable” (xi). For what I take to be an abstract of the argument in this full-length study, see the author’s contribution to Unnam’d Forms (ed. Hilton and Vogler, 1986) which was listed in Blake / An Illustrated Quarterly 20 (1986-1987): 82, #105. One ought to remember, however, that Narrative Unbound is based on the assumption “that every detail in the poem has aesthetic and perceptual significance and that the most minute articulations of similarity and discriminations of difference hold the keys to vast narrative riches” (xi). These riches, the multiple layers of meaning and the complex narrative structure of The Four Zoas, which had in part been mapped in the earlier essay are traced in full detail only in the present book, and it is only through its careful study that all the implications of Ault’s radical suggestions for a far-reaching renovation of the reading experience will become fully apparent. To say the least then, this is an unusual and provocative book (even in its layout), and it is bound to unbind a major critical debate.]

On the contrary much of their emotional force comes from the ambiguity which seems to rest on an unresolved tension between hoped-for social transformation and the realities of the social ills which the poems describe. Furthermore, the affirmation of the positive social role of the Poetic begin page 43 | ↑ back to top Genius or imagination which we find in The Marriage is revised and often undercut by irony in the later political prophecies. These poems cast doubt on the political efficacy of the imagination. Enthusiasm for the revolution is tempered by serious doubts and concerns. . . . The political poems dramatize the difficulty of presenting the truth about social problems in language which is the poet’s primary task. The discourse of these works refuses to encode a settled meaning. However, the range of meanings available to the reader includes certain identifiable social themes and the poems raise important social issues.”]

It has not just been ignored in previous issues of this annual checklist, but also in all the recent studies of the Songs that are known to me, and this despite of some extraordinary claims for the importance of this critical study that are raised in the author’s “Foreword: An Apology.” Here, the book is said to be “the first-ever attempt to study Blake’s Songs in the light of his conceptual thinking and is therefore likely to immensely enrich and expand our knowledge of the subject” (iv).]

[“Critical studies of William Blake have emphasized the integrity of his major prophecies and their commitment to a ‘grammar of the imagination’ which reconciles differences in favor of the identity of the ‘human form divine.’ This thesis throws these emphases into question in two ways. First, a close examination of Blake’s accounts of life in ‘Eden’ suggests that he could view perfection as a conflictual condition which ceaselessly undoes itself, creatively deferring rather than seeking the stability of final form. . . . The highly purposive nature of the prophetic text is the most palpable expression of the poet’s visionary will-to-order. That this emphasis on containment is made at the same time that the origin is celebrated for its resistance to (hierarchical; DWD) enclosure produces in the case of Jerusalem what I call the ‘cleft text.’ The second task of the thesis is to track the articulation of this cleft or self-difference as it complicates Blake’s language.” The author discovers a “deconstructive indeterminacy, (which) discloses an underlying complicity between terms that are arranged as origin and derivation, inside and outside, and suggests . . . that each exists as the other’s possibility in a circulation of mutual interchange that textually mirrors Blake’s primordial whole.”]

[Earlier commentators on romantic poetry are said to “have limited themselves (and the poets they seek to interpret) to two forms of Romantic dialects (dialectics?; DWD): Hegelian mediation and Schlegelian Romantic irony. Neither pattern illuminates the more profound concept of irony underlying the Romantic enterprise of secularization. Mediation is too theologically optimistic, Romantic irony too nihilistic, to do justice to the passionate struggles of thought between theology and nihilism which run throughout Romanticism. My thesis argues that William Blake at the beginning of the age and Soren Kierkegaard at its end exemplify with particularly fierce clarity this stubbornly ironic vision, . . .”]

For Blake the point is that all forms of temporal authority, regardless of intentions, are pernicious. It stands in opposition to the redemptive understanding Blake identifies with Jesus, which involves the imagination’s capacity to perceive metaphorically, in terms that transfigure the visible world into a visionary one. . . . Rather than the relatively simple opposition between two states of mind that critics most often have seen the collection as, Songs of Innocence and of Experience may . . . be seen as an essentially dramatic structure in which Blake presents four distinct modes of understanding and treatments of authority, each illuminating the limitations or possibilities of the other.”]

The metaphors describe a gradual rise from the material elements to spirit . . . a close examination of Blake’s apocalyptic visions of language shows the eventual falling away of metaphor. . . .

To do so, the evidence found in the later prophecies which “gives meaning to words like ‘Self-hood,’ ‘Self-examination,’ and ‘Self-annihilation’ ” is brought to bear upon an interpretation of the Songs that considers these poems as “a consistent human psychology,” good for “our psychological disorientation and renewal,” rather than seeing them “in a perspective defined by social criticism, by irony, or by some derivative of Christian doctrine” (ix-x). The book’s concluding chapter (111-30) argues that the Songs “may be regarded as the individuated prelude to the prophecies” (x); while stressing “some continuities,” the author treats the conceptual “differences” between the shorter poems and the major prophecies as well.]

[The “meaning of the presence in Blake’s works of many of Boehme’s themes, ideas, symbols, and concepts is best understood as an effect of their similar mystical experiences. Accordingly, this study investigates this type of mysticism as it is found in Blake and Boehme and in this way seeks to clarify the nature of Boehme’s presence in Blake’s thought and to access the nature of visionary mystical experience from the perspective of the philosophy of religion. The historical, cultural, literary, and religious connections and continuities between Boehme and Blake are discussed with a view to establishing the nature of the indebtedness of Romantic thought in general and Blake’s thought in particular to Boehme’s heritage. The nature of the language of mystical vision will be shown to be similar to that of poetic discourse.”]

[This is the first full-length study of what Denis Saurat described as the “rebellion of Blake against dogma and morality,” his “reversal of all values” (Blake and Modern Thought, London: Constable, 1929, 9). The author traces the history of the concept of a moral law from Wycliff to the eighteenth-century Deists (17-57), studies Blake’s critique of these concepts in the entire corpus of his writings (59-252), and draws attention to similar ideas in the productions of a large array of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers (253-77).

Turman, Kathryn Lee Green. “The Illumination of the Paradise Within: An Iconological Analysis of Milton, a Poem in 2 Books.” Dissertation Abstracts International 48 (1987): 1213A. U of Texas. [“This iconological analysis . . . tests the utility of a critical method based on C. G. Jung’s theory of archetypal analysis and Owen Barfield’s theory of idolatry as a hermeneutic program for reading the verbal and visual text of this apocalyptic prophecy. . . . Milton (unlike Paradise Lost) is a wholly theocentric iconological system. Not only topographic and structural but also vital and pictorial configuration(s) make multiply manifest Christocentric circled-cross patterns. . . . Exploring the evolution of the significance of iconological configuration in Milton reveals both the conceptual coherence and the representational simplicity of the poem. Milton is radically Christological in that it is conceptually as well as spiritually anchored in Jesus. The test is representationally simple in that both verbally and visually posited configurations are ultimately defined by the central point identified with Jesus. Because this point is also defined as the emanative divine center of every being, Milton may be said to be mystic.” May I add that to the compiler who, after all, is not a native speaker of the English language, this abstract sounds like a mere bubble of words. It is only fair to say, however, that for the reader of dissertation abstracts Turman’s is no isolated case.]
124. Watkinson, Ray. “A Meeting with Mr. Rossetti.” Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies 4.1 (1983): 136-39. [Publishes material from an anonymous nineteenth-century notebook. Its unidentified owner was a collector of Blake drawings who had attended the 1852 Butts sale of “works of that able but eccentric artist, William Blake, with many of his best drawings” (Bentley, Blake Books, 1977, 659, #559), and had planned to write a monograph on the artist until he learned of Gilchrist’s then projected Life. According to this manuscript, its owner was among the informants consulted by Gilchrist. The present article, however, is mostly concerned with a report in this notebook about a visit to Dante Gabriel Rossetti; the conversation of the two men centered on Blake, and the Pre-Raphaelite painter is said to have kindly lent Blake’s Notebook to the anonymous collector, allowing him to copy or trace from its pages whatever he may like. Since Watkinson claims that the author of his notebook was in possession of a large and important collection of Blake’s (watercolor?) drawings, superior to that of Monckton Milnes, it is tempting to identify him with some such figure as “Mr. Strange” from the catalogue of works compiled by William Michael Rossetti for the second volume of the 1863 Life of Blake. J. C. Strange, however, mostly bought at the 1853 Foster’s rather than the 1852 Sotheby’s sale, and without a hint at the subject of any of the works then owned by Rossetti’s visitor, all this speculation lacks a sound factual basis. In any case, this manuscript source—of which I had never heard before reading Watkinson’s short article—seems to supply a fascinating account of the feelings and motives of an early Blake collector, and it is to be hoped that either the present owner of this nineteenth-century notebook or some Blake scholar will comment in more detail about its contents in the future.]

Bennett’s book is a fully revised version of her 1977 U of California, Los Angeles, dissertation in which she takes a fresh look at Stothard’s oeuvre by placing it in the context of an increasingly industrialized society, which thoroughly affected both the production and the marketing of art. This context enables the author to explain Stothard’s success with his contemporaries as well as his later relegation to a minor place in the history of English art. Thus, the book examines the reverse of the medal coined in Blake’s “Laocoön” plate. Bennett also supplies a reassessment of Stothard’s close association with both Flaxman and Blake.]
